Description

Details

Water-SIL-48 is a liquid concentrate Silane/Siloxane waterproofer that easily mixes with clean water.  The 1/2 gallon container is very popular among professionals because it is formulated to product 5 gallons of commercial-grade diluted waterproofer when mixed with clean water.  This takes the guesswork out of mixing and the 4 lb. bottle is much more compact to ship, store, transport and handle than a 44 lb. five gallon container.Water-SIL-48 is a solvent-free penetrating product that provides long-term water repellency and protection to most masonry and wood substrates and does not damage glass or metal surfaces.  This low-odor formula is also perfectly safe to spray around grass and other landscape plantings and water features.  Water-SIL-48 is a vapor permeable repellent that allows the substrate to continue to exchange gases with the environment.  This is most beneficial when applying to new or damp construction surfaces.

Directions

Preparing Surface

Before applying Water-SIL-48 all surfaces should be clean and free from dust, dirt, oils, grease, curing compounds, coatings, mildew, mold, algae, other water repellents or any other contaminants.  If efflorescence (white residue) is present, wash surface with cleaner and / or pressurized water.  Rinse any cleaning product thoroughly from the substrate and allow to reach at least 20% dryness before applying Water-SIL-48.  Application to a dry surface is preferred to facilitate maximum penetration for optimum performance but a damp (not saturated) surface will yield desired results as well.  Wood and masonry surfaces may be cleaned by any agreeable method such as:  Power wash, sweep, deck cleaners, stain removers / strippers.

How to Apply

Water-SIL-48 Liquid Concentrate should be diluted with clean water before use.  Please refer to package directions for dilution ratios.

Apply diluted Water-SIL-48 using low pressure spray equipment.  To avoid atomizing product, use a spray tip size of .035 to .051.  Water-SIL-80 can also be applied with a brush, roller, or mop but spraying is recommended.

Apply uniformly and avoid over-application.  Heavy runs and drips should be thoroughly brushed into the surface.  On extremely porous substrates, two applications will provide super application.

For interior applications it might be necessary to scrub floors after the product dries to remove any excess material from the surface that might cause slickness.

Apply the second coat immediately after the first coat has penetrated.  Control application so that the second coat is applied within a few minutes after the first coat appears dry.

Thoroughly wash all equipmant and clothing after use.  Application equipment may be cleaned with soap and water.  Also, clean any unwanted overspray immediately with water.  A cleaner may be needed but water should be enought to wash product off of glass, metal, etc.

**NOTE:  THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS AN ADDITIVE THAT ALLOWS IT TO BE MIXED WITH WATER WITHOUT THE NEED FOR HARSH SOLVENTS.  AFTER APPLICATION THE SURFACTANT SLOWLY BEGINS TO LEAVE THE SUBSTRATE AND CAN TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO BE COMPLETELY EXPELLED.  THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE AS THE SURFACTANT IS RELEASED.**
